Signs mocking Pruitt offering '$50 a night' luxury Capitol Hill condo appear across DC

NEWS By DAVID BADASHAPRIL 6, 201811:57 AM

A political activist is plastering signs across Washington, D.C., mocking EPA administrator Scott Pruitt. "Luxury Condo on Capitol Hill $50 a Night!!!" the "advertisements" read.
"Live luxuriously for cheap — just like Scott!" they also say.

The posters, which The Hill reports activist environmental group Friends of the Earth say are their handiwork, urge those interested to call a number, which is for the Environmental Protection Agency.

The "offering" does have some fine print: "Special rate void if not a Trump administration official able to provide special favors. Property may be used to host GOP fundraisers," which Pruitt reportedly did.

resistors, we really do. Pruitt needs to go home to OK and stay there...but I would be okay with delaying that if he had to hire a lawyer because he is indicted for defrauding the United States and lying about it. Bastard.

I'm betting you don't want him back. Where should we send him? There's always jail!

Tweeting and posting in bubbles is not getting to the folks that are walking to work at the EPA, FCC, State, Interior, Energy, etc.

While most of the real people that work across the US government are extraordinarily professional and understand the mission for which they were hired, a whole lot of others have been brought in to undermine the mission and the organization. Of course, the latter probably don't come to work very often or have a private chauffeur deliver them for their requisite 2 hours of subterfuge/collusion.

He wants to "play" govt official by blaring his siren on the way to work, firing those who try to reign him in, or are drunk from drinking parties, and arranging for lobbyist trips, ordering first class plane tickets and installing a sound proof come of silence. THAT is what Pruitt does to fill his 2 hours.

It's a good idea to include the number for people who see the sign and want to complain, but you know there will be some who don't get it and call about a cheap place to stay.

His job is considered to be less than secure, so it would be great to rock the boat enough that he's pitched overboard.
